So you bricked your T Mobile Wing trying to put touch it on??

Then we are both in the same boat! I FINALLY was able to get it back up and running. I probably tried this about 50 times before I asked for some help.
Lets start at the begining.. You just got your T Mobile Wing and you want to make it way better. Good Start!
I got a lot of help from one of the Senior moderators, David Duprade, thanks once again David!
I figured I had a lot of problems, so I would put my 'bed notes' down so if you have the same or similar problems, you can back track where you messed up and correct it.
So if you had the right ROM, you probably won't be reading this, but since I do not know if you have the right one for your wing, here it is. It is in about 50 threads in this forum I have counted, but here it is. I was told there were two HIGHLY recomended, iTJE and Aserg's ROMS. I was able to get Aserg's first and have not been able to check out iTJE's. From what I have heard, both of these guys are pimps on the keyboard.
HERALD.ASerg.10.WM61E.WWE.03.08.90.LZX
This was the only thing I had to download to make it work.
If you had the same problems as I started with, and that it will not boot past the T Mobile screen, here is what you do.
RUU_Atlas_TMO_US_4[1].10.531.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship
Download the orignial T Mobile rom, it is on this website about 300 times (I guess I was not the only one). I am sure you have winrar, open up this file in winrar. There are 8 files inside of it. The one you are most concerned with is \RUU_signed.nbh this is the original operating system. Get yourself at a minimum a 128mb micro sd card. Format it to FAT32 and copy the before .nbh file to the root directory. Rename the file to Heraimg.nbh That way if you start with a brick, you can end up with a shining penny! So when it is bricked, you do a hard reset. Hold the camera button and the voice record button, then push the stylus in the reset button. as long as you pushed in the micro sd card in the slot, it will reload. When it asks you to push this button it, they mean the volume down button. After about 15 minutes, your brick is no longer bricked. It will do it's thing and then soft reset on its own. You are back to factory default, YEA!!! Remove the Micro SD card out at this point.
HERALD.ASerg.10.WM61E.WWE.03.08.90.LZX
If you have not download this file, or iTJE's file, do so now.
Also, uninstall your activesync and go to microsofts website and download a new version. When my fone was in bootloader mode, activesync did not recognize my wing, that was one of my biggest hold ups. Don't trust that it is going to work, uninstall it and re-install it. The error I was getting after I got Aserg's file was connection error when it was trying to get my phones radio version. It would error out, pissed me off SO BAD! That is when David Duprade came in. My hats off to this guy, he was on a road trip with his family and STILL helped me out while he was driving, eating, and lord only knows, trying to sleep. Once again, Hats off to you David!!!!
Inside this archived folder, I extracted it to my root directory and changed the name to Aserg, just to play it safe. After that, the only file you have to use is Herald-uspl, thats it. Pay attention to your screen and it WILL work. I did both of my wings within one hour.
Good luck to ALL OF YOU! It is easy, don't freak out and start pistol whipping your toughbooks like I did... you can do it!

happened to me. I just redid the hardspl and it fixed the issue.

i mustve bricked my phone flashing the ROM because it is stuck at the startup/loading screen. i cant get activesync to connect to my phone so how do i fix it?

boot your wing up into boot loader. then flash.

After several attempts and toiling into the wee hours of the morning. you all helped me bring my wing back to life. Thanks!

Thankssssssssssssssss
THANK U MAN I really appreciate this tuto

Hello everyone,
I know this is an old thread, but I need some assistance. I did everything that the tutorial mentioned. I'm in bootloader mode (Red, Green, Blue, and White Screen) and inserted my MicroSD (Tried 4GB SDHC and 2GB regular). Nothing happens. It just remains in the bootloader screen. I have IPL 4.26.0002 and SPL 4.70.Yang. Not sure if that matters. I bricked it while trying to revert back from HardSPL by using Remove_HARD-SPL_On_The_Wing.rar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ok. Nevermind. Looks like I forgot one step. Hard reset by pressing the 2 - buttons and the reset, then bootloader mode by pressing the camera button and the reset. After that, the "reading SD card" message shows up. I thought I would post this in case someone else have the same issue as I did. Thanks.

[Q] Freeze during firmware upgrade. Do I wait or kill?

I'm doing the firmware upgrade using Kies off Windows 7 32bit to my Bell Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant i90000. The unit is stock, right out of the box.
It says "Upgrade in progress" and "The upgrade has started". The progress bar is around 15 to 20% and has not progressed during the last 25 minutes. TheGalaxy displays a uniform purple screen.
This is a Bell unit and it does have the now infamous no recovery/download mode keys problem (I checked before starting). So that wont be an option if I kill it.
Is this supposed to take so long or am I screwed?
I'm a new user, so I'm not allowed to post an outside link to this screen shot:
www dot davidkennedy dot com/Photos/UpgradeInProgress.png

ouch!....
Why the heck did you go ahead and flashed your phone, knowing the 3 buttons area dead?
the upgrade does not take more than 5 minutes
the whole process takes about 5 min
it's been over 25 min, and download bar is not complete, chances are your phone will be bricked after you unplug it.
call Samsung/Bell
tell them exactly that
the phone is stuck downloading the new firmware via KIES
they will most likely replace the phone for you

After 1h I killed it (on the windows side).
Phone was still purple screen so I pressed power. Came back with screen of death (the "phone ... exclamation ... pc" image).
I figured that was the end of that phone but...
I restarted Kies and reclicked upgrade firmware. Then I read some interresting stuff I had never seen in the discussions. Kies said the previous upgrade had failed. It told me to to into recovery mode so that I could re-up the firware. Instructions were given to enter recovery so that it could begin.
Strangely, the instructions indicated pressing Home and Volume Down then press and hold power. I figure this text is just wrong, as either they mean to go into Download mode or they should be telling me to press volume up.
Anyhow, I did what they said, and as usual it didnt work. So I removed the batttery and tried again. Failed. Removed the battery again and tried again. Failed. One last time... AND IT WORKED!!!!! Apparently if you just try over and over it will eventually go into recovery/download. I got the download logo and started the Firmware restore.
Guest what... It's stuck at around 5% and it's been 15 minutes again !!!!
I'm about to brick this phone myself; with a real brick.

hey glad to hear you can get into the Download Mode
consider trying the upgrade on another machine
seems like the USB port on that PC is not very stable
if all else fails you can also try Odin3 to flash JH2

davidke - did you keep the USB cable plugged into the computer and phone while doing the "remove battery, put battery back, 3 button combination" ?
I have the same problem with my SGS: the dreaded phone-!-computer image, 3 button combination not working and when plugged in Windows doesn't see it at all.

this screen?

Yes, this screen.

neutrin,
Yes, I kept the usb cable plugged in.
I believe this is a clue to the underlying reason for the 3 button combo failure.
It did not work before the attempted upgrade. But after the failed upgrade there is no firmware in the device... so the the combo works.
In my case the combo always works now, first try. I dont know why I had to do several times before getting it once.
In my case the phone is bricked. I cant get anything to connect to it properly. Tried Kies, ADB and Odin. My PC sees it on the USB and the device says "Downloading" with the yellow android doing street work, but that's it.
Anybody have any suggestions? I'm gonna take it back to the store in a bit. I've had it with (no-so-)smart phones.

don't you have another PC you can try it on?
either Kies or Odin should be able to flash you to JH2 or whatever version you choose

You talked me into it... one last hope for this phone.
Downloading everything to my laptop and will try Kies, ODIN and adb.
Will report back later.

It worked.
I was bricked and you saved me. Thanks.
Kies: No go. Odin: Worked.
Reloaded UGJH2 and phone is back to normal. Reinstalling my apps...
I'll post another thread explaining how I accidentally got into Download Mode on a phone with the 3 button combo disabled. Might be interresting for others.

congrats!
that is great news!

I have a SFR (french operator) branded SGS and rumor is that this function is disabled on some of the phones sold by them. Many owners of SFR branded SGS complain about this.
I would be thrilled if your method worked. Please post a link to the new thread when you start it. Thanks!

You wont want to try it. But this is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769871

@neutrin post your results after you are done trying those methods

No success with this method. Not even after the phone got pretty warm (1 hour connected to USB). I held the buttons pressed for 5-10 minutes in a row, several times. It seems the SFR branded phones are really crippled.

i was pretty sure it was not going to work for truely disabled phones

Oh well... I'm going to have to wait for a JTAG solution.
I just can't imagine why would SFR and perhaps other operators want this function disabled just for some of the SGS they sell.

i'm pretty sure it has to do with the network operators requesting the feature to be removed, to prevent the phone from being unlocked

That didn't prevent the unlock on mine. There must be another reason. Perhaps prevent debranding?

[Q] Galaxy S, thinks it's from AT&T after attempted root, and DL mode not working

I attempted to root my Galaxy S (Ohh, i live en Denmark and it's not branded but my provider is "3") but i somehow got some links mixed up, so instead of getting the right firmware for my SGS for 2.2 i got one which is 2.2 BUT, when it starts/shuts down it takes 2-3 times longer because there's an "AT&T" logo/bootscreen.
So i thought i would just flash it to "I9000XXJE2" so it would be 2.1 and i could start over. But here comes the biggest problem, is that when i just connect it to my PC it shut's down
And since it got the personality disorder where it thinks it's from the US and AT&T i can't get into download mode either, have literally searched since 11 PM last night (10 PM here now..) i'm so freaking tired and annoyed, been using a "Nokia 3310" to make calls.
So i don't now what the hell to do!..
Is there some how a way to root/something/fix whatever from the phone? Cause i can start it, but download mode/recovery doesn't work, and it i connect USB it shuts down immediately.
Hope you Android masterminds can help me!.. I'm going to bed now and see if there's answers later...

Theres no way to fix it, Send it to repair shop or search in the site for Galaxy S JIG as its hardware device that forces the SGS into download mode.

The JIG method would work fine. Give it a shot!

just encase you're not sure about the JIG thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Hope you get it working

Thanks very much! I will try the jig thingy for a final try!.. Hope it works!

Okaay.. So apparently it's VERY difficult to get those resistors if you live in a small town in Denmark, and your mom denies to buy ANYTHING on the net..
And now the phone almost died, apparently it won't charge (Didn't notice at topic start) any other advice?.. I'm guessing Samsung/"3" won't help since
root=no warranty?..
EDIT: If it wasn't clear i can start the phone, but can't connect to pc get into DL mode, but i can access SD card from phone, so is there maybe something i can put on that? To help?..

Anyone?... I wrote to "3" and Samsung, but they say something about root and they can't help.
So i guess i somehow gotta find that resistor or=no phone?.. I mean, if it would just charge, i could see if i could make it work.. But now there's only very little battery, and i've tried SO many things from this forum!

I'm also from Denmark which software have you flashed and how?

You still have the white "Galaxy S" logo, not the AT&T logo, as the first thing on the screen when you boot up, right? It sounds like you have the AT&T CSC loaded, which is not the same as having the AT&T bootloader, which is what happened to a few people.
You still have the phone booting so you probably don't need the jig solution. Have you tried Terminal Emulator app with the commands "su" + "reboot download" (root required)?

It is rooted and i can start it up, and it won't recharge.
When i press powerbutton there is a white AT&T logo and then the normal Galaxy S start-up.
I rooted with "Doc Froyo" and then by accident in "SGS tools" from market pressed, and i'm not totally sure here, cause it was an accident. But something that said something about changing the lockscreen? and i either pressed JM6 "Eclair"
Or JE6 "Eclair" by accident (Stupid fat fingers..) and then it froze, and would'nt do anything so i rebooted it, and then it said AT&T and won't charge now/connect to PC both things shut it down, and it divides numbers weird..
I mean, it says for example: 123-45-1234 or something, ya know.. The US style, and it is like i'm driving at 9000 mp/h with the noise when i call someone (Tried it a couple of times)
(The number should be along the lines of 12345678)
Not sure what "Terminal Emulator" is, is there a guide/video to it?--
Tingen: I used something called "Odin v1.3" i think it was called and "Doc Froyo's"
And it was perfect, but cause of my fat fingers/clumsy self, i pressed "Apply" instead of the homebutton, and then it got "You're a moron" disease -.-'
And now the homebutton don't work either (Guess Captivate (Which it thinks it is now in menu, but when i start it, it says Galaxy S) has a touch homebutton or something?.. And back button which used to go one back, e.g. If i was in "some setting in settings menu" and pressed back it would go one back, now it goes back to desktop, back is kinda what "home" was before..
There's not much battery left, 25-30% but i can start it quick to see what it says in settings (The kernel/something/something) if that would help?..
Last time i turned everything off and connections of and no live wallpaper and airplane-mode and brightness down so hopefully, i can try something without it dying.. But just say if it can help and i will post those data
Thank you both, for answering my post, thought i was going to get no replies and end up with a new paperweight..
EDIT!!!: I think i'll post a video in a couple of hours (It's the middle of the night in Denmark right now)

It's the "Android Terminal Emulator" app from the market. Running it and entering the commands "su" and "reboot download" should get into download mode.
It's really risky flashing with so little battery left, you could end up bricking it much worse. If possible find someone with the same phone or a store who will let you charge the battery.
Because you've replaced the bootloader with the AT&T version you need to flash a full ROM that includes the standard bootloaders. Don't flash a 3-button fix or an update ROM. To check you have a full ROM make sure the PDA .tar file that you're flashing includes boot.bin and sbl.bin. You can open it to check with WinRAR.

I just very quickly tried that.. I got the thing downloaded, but when i wrote
SU it said not found.
So back again. I guess i need to see if others have a Galaxy which will let my put my battery in theirs so it can charge.
EDIT: Ohh, and also got the data from setting:
Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I879
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband: I897UCJI6
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
[email protected] 11 #1
Build: FROYO.UCJI6
EDIT2: And the charger is in, and i noticed (Still can't see battery logo or anything) that from the M-USB (Cover is off) and to where the hole is (Where the battery sits) it's warm, but battery even now after 10-15 minutes isn't warm at all, it's like it goes all the way to the little gold thingys that connect the phone to the battery, and then stops there just before the battery.
The battery is getting SLITHGLY warmer in the top, but i think it's just from the top part of the phone being warm.
I'll post some pics/video with description later.

OH! If it helps, it seems it was not SGS tools! But "Galaxy S Tweaker" or GST from market, it has a white logo with a wrench on it, if you search on appstore and download the app you can see what i did.

It needs to be "su" in lowercase, did you try that? If it still doesn't work in lowercase it means your root didn't work, or isn't installed properly. Try the z4root app to fix it.

Tried lowercase, don't work.
What is "z4root" for?
I see it says root/unroot, but which should i choose?

Ok. downloaded it and i could choose root, so i did. now it says
"Please wait while root completes and you
device is rebooted..."
been like that for 3 minutes, how long does it usually takes?..

OMG I ****ING LOVE YOU! LOOK LOOK LOOK!!!!

It's been like that for a long time, but at least the pc recognizes it now, and DL mode is working! THANK YOU! If you lived in Denmark you'd be getting a case of beers now!
Even if this won't work, i at least can charge it and get into DL mode, the Z4 thing solver the root, and Terminal worked after that! Thanks!

Hmm it seems that it get's stuck in odin (tried odin v1.3 and on-click) at "SetupConnection"
But i'm going to see if i can maybe charge my phone now
EDIT: Aaaaaand now there's a weird
"mobile phone - - triangle with ! - - computer"
icon, hard to explain..

Hmm. Seems now i'm really screwed..
So if hairdryer heat thing won't work, i'm sending it to support, and hope they don't say "screw you, you broke it" (In sciency terms of course) and send a bill.
I hate this, right now until this work, my phone is an old Nokia which can make calls and won't send text messages.
I've been using smartphones for 5-6 years. I feel so "trapped" or "claustrophobic" with this Nokia.

Mailed Samsung a week ago, they said i should talk to my provider first, so i mailed "3" 3 days ago, and they said i should contact Samsung.. :S
So wrote to "3" again that they said i should contact Samsung. But they haven't answered yet, god it's frustrating!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) Black Screen on wake up.

Hi Guys
I've a problem with my SGS.
When the phone has been out of use for a few hours, when i try to to push the "on/off" button or the menu button, the screen will not activate, it just stays black.
When i press vol up/down, it's making sounds - as it should. So the phone is on, but the screen will not turn on.
Is anybody familiar with that problem and a solution?
I'm using DarkyROM JVQ v. 10.2 (Resurrection Edt.) with Launcher Pro Plus v0.8.6
I have to pull out the battery and start up the phone every time, which is pretty annoying.
I hope someone is able to help me out.
Thanks in advance.

bump!
here we go
provide help... i need... thx mates

I can't help you to fix that other than advising to change ROM/kernel but what I can tell you is that you don't need to pull out the battery, you just have to long-press (approx 10 secs) the power button until the phone reboots.

I'm not sure this will help but I had the same problem and after flashing back and forth testing different kernels and roms I came to the conclusion that it had to be hardware related. I removed the Sd card and everything started working as normal.

Have same problem. I have stock XXJVT and root kernel. It happenes not so often (once per month), but it is really anoying. Anyone find a cause/solution?

Maybe you have K 9-Mail installed. I had the same problem and after I removed, everything was Ok. I have xxjvt and Speedmod Kernel K16-7.
If you don't have K9 and you have a lagfix activated maybe you didn't activated on all partitions. This I read in Speedmod topic.

Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) Black Screen on wake up.
Hi,
I have the same problem. I`ve recently updated my GT-I9000 with the official GIGERBREAD.XFJV7. I`m new to Android and this is so annoying Please help!
Best Regards,
Geri

I got this problem too :/
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

i think it's a hardware problem, the proximity sensor...

With XXJVT I had the same problem. It happened once in every two - three days. So went Back to 2.3.3.
I was thinking that it was because of some customization with XXJVT. But now I see that it happens in 2.3.5 firmwares.

Sounds like a SOD (sleep of death) problem. Your phone doesn't manage to get out of deep sleep for some reason. on Cm7 this was caused by BLN activated custom kernels, but I don't know if that's the case here.
Try searching for the sleep of death issue, maybe there is a solution somewhere on XDA?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

SOD it is.
Are you undervolting using setcpu or the like? I know I had massive issues like this at first when uv'ing - the frequency and volts were stable when the screen was on but after some time of deep sleep...nada.
If you are uv'ing then try playing with the volts some more (especially at 100mhz)

Samsung galaxy si9000 startup problem
Hi Guys
Looking for a bit of help if possible
I have a samsung galaxy si9000 and unfortunately the problem occurred over night. The phone was working fine the evening before but when I woke up it wouldn't turn on. I get lights on the soft keys at the bottom and occasionally hear the startup 'music' for samsung but the screen is just black. I cannot get onto the reboot screen and the 3 key combination (volume up/down (i tried both) + Home + Power) doesn't seem to put anything on the screen. The screen just stays black throughout. I really don't want to send it back to samsung as i know I will be charged an arm and a leg for this, especially when it wasn't really my fault, all I did was went to bed. Thanks and I look forward to any help

Remove Battery, Sim Card and Ext SD card, than press and hold power button for a min and than try to restart phone without ext SD card and sim card... see if anything changes If failed you should use Recovery tools , links on My Android Collections, below to check, what state the phone is in.

I also have this problem...
Searching/reading similar posts I have the feeling there are slightly different issues.
In my case, the screen doesn't light up (also no lights on the soft keys) but the phone works! I called it and it rings (but can't answer w/o screen, maybe I can try with some auto-answer), and I can also hear the sounds when modifying volume.
It doesn't wake up by plugging the power source (and nor by calling it, as written above). I have also tried "Wake All" app, and it doesn't change anything.
I am on stock 2.3.6 XXJW4 with Semaphore kernel 2.7.4, but no tweaks like oc,ov...
Could "normal" software could have such an effect?? Or it's a driver issue? Or (worse) hardware??
I think it's not hardware, because it works after reboot (pressing 10s power button, no baterry removal).
Thanks for any hint.

Hi, I have the same problem as well as the others. I tried your method of restarting the phone without anything and holding it down for a good minute. Nothing happens. The LED lights go on, I feel vibrations when I turn off and on the phone. I have not dropped it either. Do you know of any solution that could help me?
Much appreciated!!
Also, if you direct me to your Android Recovery Tools which one do I pick under that category and what do I do?
Thanks so much!!!

Users who use the sema-kernel ,have you activated "deep idle" ???
Has someone tested with nornal "stock" without any custom kernel, i mean all stock if the prob appears ...
What is about the hints of xsenman - can anyone confirm that the "SOD" is gone ???

First try connecting Phone to PC, check IF USB connection is possible, you will hear your PC sound when and IF your PC has debugging ON and can get into USB mass storage mode
IF it connects , you can use a managing tool, like
My Phone Explorer V 1.8.4 download client from Google Play Store works with USB cable to manage phone from PC
Moborobo
Mobogenie
For Chinese Clones
Mobizen USE & Manage Phone from PC
Second you can try a Android reboot tool ( from the recovery tools) in My Android collections, to check if your display is not the issue here.
Check this out!You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.

[HELP!] Nokia 8 not powering on and unresponsive state! :(

Hi everyone!
I'm new here, I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I am having some serious issues now with my Nokia 8 of just only 11 months!
Still in pretty good condition, yes it may have had a drop here and there with a rubber casing
Just a couple nights ago I decided to go on my phone (3:30am pprox.) unplug from charger and was just scrolling through facebook via. Chrome and noticed it the whole app froze, and none of the buttons/touchscreen was responsive, didn't even want to lock. Just thought casually to force power off by holding the power/lock button for maybe 10 seconds and thus it did turn off. Straight afterwards I tried turning it on and to my surprise it didn't turn on, even holding the power button for a good length of time, to no avail.
No lights on the panel and didn't even recognise the charger.
I researched here and there and tried the different "holding down" button combos (Volume Up/Down and Power Button) but absolutely nothing!
I thought it was probably stuck on a boot or something, thus I went ahead and removed the screen (will need replacing unfortunately) and disconnected the battery ribbon cable, and after a minute and plugged it back in, hoping that it will finally power on. Nothing changed.
I am now left absolutely scratching my head and almost exhausted my options as I have been left without a phone, missing out on calls and messages for work and now really worried doing the button combos might've erased my phone's data/memory! :crying:
I am either wanting to repair my phone (getting out of its bricked state) or backing up or dumping the memory containing my contacts and SMS messages!
I have not come across anything like this exactly from other users, everyone seems to have been able to get the screen working and enter recovery/safe mode(s). But for this to just happen right on front of me is just bizarre and un-explainable!
Does anyone know if they may have experienced this whatsoever? And if anyone can help me on this??
I would really really appreciate it! ?

The phone burned out
([emoji3590]09-09-18[emoji3590])

Wow, are you very sure? How did you come to that conclusion may I ask?? :crying:
I have read elsewhere people with overheating problems where the phone hangs and they had to force power off. But they manage to power it back on with the button combos

Hi everyone,
A recent discovery and I thought it was worth mentioning, after having the phone connected to my PC, maybe after 30-60mins a device recognition sounds off, and in the device manager it originally comes up as QUSB_BULK. I see this related to the usual QHSUSB_BULK that people gets in other places on the internets, thus I installed the Qualcomm drivers and now I get this everytime I leave my Nokia 8 connected after that amount of time.

Does anyone know what this could mean perhaps?
Is there anything I could do from here??

If the phone is still disassembled, check the battery if not damaged or swollen or seems like a big pack of air inside. Maybe the battery is gone. Else flash a stock rom. You'll surely lose all data.

I have disassembled the phone and looked at the battery, it doesn't seem to have swollen or deformed at all. I've even checked the voltage with a multimeter on the ribbon cable for it and it reads on average 3.7v to 4.1V (depending if I've left the USB cable for awhile, like as if it was charging.
I really really don't want to loose my data, there are very important SMS messages that I need to keep!
Is there any way to backup any of this? Maybe through this Qualcomm?

Try to install a few android manager apps on your computer to read from the phone, available from different phone makers, htc, samsung. Unfortunately nokia didn't make one. Try to boot start your phone in safe mode if you can, even though it doesn't light up, maybe it will vibrate. Connect with your computer and try them all. Sometimes holding power and volume down and connecting usb might work.
If not, its probably gone. Your warranty must have been void by now, since you already opened it.

Your'e right, Nokia didn't make one, but like I said before it DOESN'T recognise to access the storage, the phone is dead, doesn't vibrate, doesn't lit up when power (or any) button is pressed.
However, as I've stated in my previous post, leaving it plugged for 30+ minutes will bring up an unspecified device (QUSB_BULK or QHSUSB_BULK) known as Qualcomm (I'll attach screenshot here again).
The warranty expire before I even removed the screen.
There's a very good chance that it's boot is corrupted (I didn't even do ANYTHING...no flashing, modification...Nothing!), and that it's stuck in a bootloop or cycle. I've only read people suggesting (like yourself here) to flash the rom which would bring it out of it's current state (only IF this is the scenario, but we're not too sure) but this would definitely erase everything, which needs to be avoided.
I've also been doing some more research, in regards to Qualcomm, is there no way to retrieve the data through this "Unspecified Device"?
Apparently I've read rumblings of people doing a full dump of their storage. Does anyone know more about this perhaps??

Try putting it on charge for 20 minutes, even if it doesnt show anything. Then with charging connected, hold down power vol + and - together for 3 minutes. Good luck.

There is Miracle Box tool available online for retrieving data off most phones. Look for it. That qualcomm unspecified device has been attributed to corrupted motherboard. Only option would be to replace it. Try your best with softwares before letting go.
Best of luck and hope for the best...

I have perfectly described this in my original post. Even with the charger intact...nothing!

Wooaahh...don't luck me off (get it?) just yet! Still hoping we can all work together to not only benefit me but many others who has gone through this torment and to hopefully come across this in search for a solution.
In regards to your post, when you say it's attributed to a corrupted motherboard, do you possibly mean that the system files or partition or software or whatever got screwed up?
Previous poster PoochyX stated "The phone burnt out", but if this was the case wouldn't the PC not pickup the unspecified Qualcomm device? The fact that it is would indicate that this is not the case perhaps??
Looking forward to your thoughts everyone! ?

Pretty sure its a software issue, since its able to get power after some time. Found this on nokia forums
https://community.phones.nokia.com/discussion/51807/hardbricked-nokia-8-ta-1012
Maybe that can help. Try to use the miracle box tool to recover some data if you can. Then try to flash a firmware.

Hi everyone,
Sorry for my late reply, life has been pretty busy and very slow since I am using my backup phone (HTC One S) which even after hard resetting is running tremendously slow, battery draining really quickly (even after replacing a year ago when I thought it was a battery problem) and keeping communication to a minimum since I've lost all contacts and messages
I've checked the Nokia forums, they are not very helpful at all. And there is nothing of them to support retrieving your lost files and more of encouraging to just get the phone booting again (which results is data wiping).
I've looked into the Miracle Box tool, and whilst it looks really handy, I'm just not too keen on having to purchase a piece of device inorder to use the software and hoping it'll access or recognise my phone. I was really wanting it to be done as simply as possible.
Please do correct me if I am missing anything on this matter.
One thing I have came across are these "Qualcomm Phone Dumper Flash Tool"
- One variant here: https://youtu.be/JXbax7t42J0?t=128
- Phone rescue++: https://youtu.be/kSUZXnFnvUU?t=18
Both apparently shows the dumping of the EMMC, can anyone verify this or have any experience anything like these?
Also, if they are dumped, can the data be accessed to retrieve and backup contacts, sms messages and other important bits perhaps??
Apologies for the long post, there was a lot to get off my chest too but I hope we all can solve this matter, always appreciative! ?

Also I forgot to mention!
Despite the phone being in a unresponsive state, me doing the button combinations, like Power+Vol Up/Down, what are the chances that I could've hard reset or wiped my data completely???
Additionally, if I am able to do a full dump of the EMMC, how will I be able to extract my contacts and messages from this?

Hi everyone, I am still without my Nokia 8 and have been in discussing and trying different things!
So I thought it was worth to update you where I am and if you can still help me at the point I am at!
As you're all aware my device is recognised through Qualcomm 9008 by just using standard USB connection. Remember I can't see anything on the screen (it is also broken) so I can't tell what mode the phone is exactly in, but I am at the stage of using emmc Software Download app from QPST. I am doing this in order to access the internal storage and make a backup of my userdata.
Now according to emmc software download app, sometimes it is in "Download mode". What does this mean?
Also, I previously mentioned that my phone is freshly recognised in device manager in 15 minutes after connected by USB, I get this happening in emmc software download app:
I have tried this again and after leaving it for more than 2 hours it's still the same and gives me that error message after selecting Okay.
However, if I unplug and re-plug USB, then open again emmc software download app, and then click DLOAD button to select phone, I get this:
The State is now Enabled but no more Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download), it just says No Phone.
Any idea what this means???

there is a fix for that if ur phone detected as qloader 9008, means ur phone is in emergency state. u need a proper driver for ql9008 and a
multi functional/edl boot cable. once detected use QFIL tool to flash ur "nokia 8 firmware(must qfil), dont use normal cable it wont flash the qfil firmware. or see tutorials how to use it. that might solve ur phone problem and make it alive again.
but this might erase all ur data.

@JinbrianZ Kumusta friend!
Thanks so much for replying here, it truly is like having a gift for Christmas!
I have already installed the Qualcomm drivers (manually), hence why I get QDLoader 9008 in device manager.
I have read somewhere on the internet that the Nokia 8 doesn't work with any EDL cable, as it has it's own button combination to access the different modes. Please correct me if I am wrong.
At the moment I am not trying to flash my phone, I am merely trying to gain access to the eMMc so I can make a backup of my userdata partition. After I have done this, then I will make attempts to flash. However none of this can happen since I am experiencing the problems I have posted
Might you know why the software ifs giving me this error? Have you got a Nokia 8 too??

@Nokia_8_fan
ur chances of dumping the data is very low since ur phone state is bad, u might able to dump it if ur phone is able to bootup atleast, but seems thats not the point.
now its either u keep trying to find a way to backup ur data till u succeed. (doing this u might not able to achieve both by recovering the data & making ur phone usable again).
or
try to make ur device able to boot again. (atleast* if this works u have a working phone again). regardless of data restoring.
but i guess it cant be help. im sorry.

@JinbrianZ
Well I just bought an EDL cable, maybe the standard USB isn't just communicating well enough? Even for it to enter EDL mode?
I really hope my device isn't in such a bad state as you've put it, I mean it's still recognising as QLOADER 9008 at the very least. In fact, at this time point of the video this is almost exactly how my phone looks like in eMMC software: https://youtu.be/vkUv5Wmor8Q?t=42
The difference is when I try switching to DLOAD, I get the error 0x80004005.
I also don't know if the fact that I don'[t have an XML file loaded is part of the reason why it's not working?
I don't quite understand this and I wouldn't know what file to put in there exactly, or where it can be obtained.
Could this be a reason why its not working for me?

@Nokia_8_fan
have u downloaded nokia 8 qfil firmware? it might be included there, something called like "flash_local.xml". and also ur phone should be detected as COMxx. as u posted before.
if u able to do that again then.
follow this guide. u might u already seen it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...w-to-backup-qualcomm-phone-root-t3570178/amp/
p.s.
emmc download is a old flash tool for all qualcomm based, just like qfil/miflasher.
u wont be able to backup from it.
